How to apply for an inert waste permit

An inert waste permit is needed for these types of waste

You need an inert waste permit to deliver any of the following waste types free of charge:

Breeze blocks

Bricks

Ceramics (baths, bidet, shower tray, sink, tiles, toilet)

Concrete

Drainpipes (ceramic types)

Flagstones/paving slabs

Gravel

Hardcore

Plaster*

Plasterboard*

Rubble

Sand (sharp)

Slates

Soil

Stones

Tarmac

Tiles (floor/roof/wall)

Turf

*These waste types should be presented separately and deposited in the plaster and plasterboard container.

You do not need a permit to deliver any other waste type.

Separate permits for van and commercial vehicles/trailers are required in accordance with the council's access policy.

Without a permit

If you don't have an inert waste permit, or if you have more inert waste than the permit provides for, you have the option to pay at the HWRC.

The charges in these circumstances is £3.50 per bag or item.

For inert waste delivered in trailers the following charges apply:

Trailers up to 1 metre in length - £17.50

Trailers up to 2 metres in length - £35

Trailers up to 3 metres in length - £52.50

Open backed vehicles (such as pickups) will be charged as above dependent upon size of carrying area.

If your waste is presented by any other means (including where the capacity has been artificially increased) the site attendant will make an assessment of the equivalent bagged amount and subsequent charge.

Payment will be taken on site by credit or debit card only. Payment by cash or cheque will not be accepted.
